UMC Bishops Call for Equal Voting Rights
The Executive Committee of the Council of Bishops of The United Methodist Church is calling upon United Methodists to use their influence in their states, legislative districts, and local precincts to enable voter registration and to encourage elected officials to provide the resources necessary to support the fullest possible participation in elections. The bishops issued their statement today in the aftermath of the decision by the United States Senate to reject legislation that would have counteraction taken by several states legislatures making voting more difficult, especially in minority communities.
